The tragedy caused by "Western civilization"

We would not have thought that 21 years ago, a genocide came to Africa, to Rwanda. This is another genocide after the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people during World War II, the difference between the two is less than half a century. I think the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda is the result of the entry of Western civilization, and it is the tragic result of Western civilization.
I checked the data, as early as the 16th century, Rwanda had its own country. Although there are Hutu people and Tutsi people in the country, they share a common language and beliefs. The Hutu people are engaged in farming, the Tutsi are engaged in herding, and the people of the Tutsi who switch to farming can be called Hutu and vice versa. There is often intermarriage between the two races, and there is no bloody feud that will never die. The Western civilization that entered later divided the two ethnic groups into high and low levels.
In the late 19th century, Rwanda became a German colony. The Germans believe that the Hutu people, who are farmers, immigrated from the south with short stature and dark skin, while the Tutsi people, who were herdsmen, immigrated from the north. , belonging to the advanced race.
During the later Belgian rule, the Hutu and Tutsi were officially divided into two ethnic groups, and this racial system was permanently fixed. Every Rwandan has his ethnicity marked on his identity card. The small Tutsi rule helped the colonists rule the vast majority of the Hutu. The colonists tilted their policies towards the Tutsi, who also held a lot of wealth.
After Rwanda became independent, with the implementation of the democratic system, the Hutu people, who account for the vast majority of the population, began to retaliate against the Tutsi who were once superior, and a large number of Tutsi were persecuted and displaced into refugees.
The entry of Western civilization has pushed Rwanda to the forefront of the storm.
This is the evil result of the entry of Western civilization, which has caused the Rwandans to suffer catastrophes. It is the tragic introduction of civilization.
